Do these screens as well as screens for fridge and any vents cause any real airflow problems enough to cause a problem. Not worried about warranty, well past that.

@John As long as they are kept clean, these will cause so little air flow restriction, it would be difficult to measure. They are designed to keep out larger critters (wasps, bees, birds, rodents, and other wee beasties of that nature) so the mesh is not small enough to really inhibit the passage of air through them. This will go for the vast majority of vent screens on the market as the idea is to keep things from getting in but not keep air from getting out. That said, there may be some out there that do block the air flow more than others, but even those should not do so enough to cause any kind of problem. What kind of problem are you having?

@LazerS I watched a large wasp go into my screen that's on my hot water cover. Opened it up and saw a tiny nest and one hornet. I took my mini torch and fried his ass. I bought the kit.

@John HAHA! Glad you noticed it before it got our of hand! I am surprised that one got in though. Typically the mesh is tight enough to keep things like that out. Is it an older trailer?
